Secretary of State John Kerry wants to keep the American people in the dark regarding the global jihadist terrorist threat we are facing. Referring to terrorism in remarks he made at the Edward M. Kennedy Center in Dhaka, Bangladesh, a country that has recently experienced its own encounter with Islamist terrorists, Kerry said, Perhaps the media would do us all a service if they didnt cover it quite as much. People wouldnt know whats going on. Kerry was just reflecting his bosss bizarro worldview. In an interview with Vox, for example, Obama agreed absolutely with the proposition posed by the...

Abu Muhammad al-Adnani, one of Islamic States longest-serving and most prominent leaders, has been killed in Syria, the groups Amaq news agency reported. The jihadi groups spokesman was killed while surveying the operations to repel the military campaigns against Aleppo, Amaq said on Tuesday. Isis holds territory in the province of Aleppo, but not in the city itself where rebels are fighting Syrian government forces. Amaq did not say how Adnani died. The Pentagons press secretary Peter Cook said coalition forces had conducted an airstrike in the town of al-Bab in Aleppo province on Tuesday targeting Adnani, but did not...

Al Qaeda of the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP) has published a guide urging jihadis to carry out more lone wolf operations in the U.S. following the deadly terror attack in Orlando earlier this month and to set their sights on the targeting of white Americans. The publication, Inspire guide: Orlando operation, which seeks to capitalize on the terror attack carried out by gunman Omar Mateen who pledged allegiance to ISIS, plainly encourages extremists to attack Americans. While Mateen chose to target what the guide refers to as a homosexual nightclub, noting that killing gay people is the most binding duty and...

Not only did this Dearborn Muslim plot to shoot up a Detroit church, but he kept a sword in his car and said that it was his dream to behead someone. Khalil Abu-Rayyan said he wanted to burn people alive, tie them up, cut their tongues. As for the church shooting, Abu-Rayyan said, Honestly, I regret not doing it. If I cant go do jihad at the Middle East I would do a jihad over here. But Abu-Rayyan will not be prosecuted for terrorism; not in Dearborn,...

Almost everyone had something to say about Thursday's incident in which a gunman who said he supported ISIS attacked Philadelphia police officer Jesse Hartnett with a gun, shooting him 17 times. Everyone except resident Obama, that is, who over the course of his administration has shown a willingness to reply instantly and passionately when police are accused of a shooting. When Fox News host Megyn Kelly asked about the latest Islamic lone wolf to stage an attack on American soil, the White House had two words to say, according to Kelly: "No comment." She then discussed the implications of the...

Speaking with Breitbart radio host Stephen K. Bannon earlier this week, former FBI counter-terrorism Special Agent John Guandolo claimed that the "vast majority" of mosques and other Islamic organizations in the United States host provable links to a broader "jihadi network" that seeks to implement Shariah law throughout America. He added that at least 75 percent of the 2,200 Islamic entities in America are "owned by the North American Islamic Trust, which is a bank for the Muslim Brotherhood here." The purpose of these organizations, Guandolo argued, "is to wage civilization jihad until the entire world, and especially the United...

...And you know how pro-American Middle Eastern Muslims usually are. I understand he has a beef with Trump but is there any actual evidence of this happening? Which Middle Eastern countries are seeing protests over what one guy in one partyâs primary in the United States may or may not have said about a registry of Muslims? More specifically, which Muslims who werenât already inclined to dislike America for other reasons have suddenly tilted towards disapproval now that Trump canât stop talking about celebrations in New Jersey on 9/11?

Earlier this month, Israelâs Knesset enacted a minimum prison term for minors who throw stones and firebombs at vehicles. An outraged Palestinian Authority called the measure âpunitive and racist.â Stoning attacks in Israel go largely unreported, but on average there are several such incidents every day. The perpetrators are usually Palestinian Arab youth, and their victims are almost always Israeli Jewish motorists. A number of these attacks have resulted in severe injuries and deaths, including Jewish children. There are certain areas of Jerusalem that the police, ambulances and other public services simply wonât enter for fear of being stoned. But...

~SNIP~ In middle school, Ahmed said, he had been called "bombmaker" and a "terrorist." "Just because of my race and my religion," he said, adding that when he walked into the room where he was questioned, an officer reclined in a chair and remarked, "That's who I thought it was."

During the attack on the recruiting center in Chattanooga, Tennessee, the attacker chose "gun free" or "disarmed victim zones" for his targets. He did not enter the firs zone, he fired from outside of it. He did not hit any innocents at this target, then went to a secondary target, also a disarmed victim zone, at the Navy Operations Support Center, a few miles away. There he killed four marines, wounded another and a police officer before he was stopped. He fired at the first target for at least 20 - 30 seconds, perhaps as much as a minute,...

Abdulazeez shot his victims in a âgun-free zone,â which is a useful illustration of the absurdity of gun-control laws: we constrain conscientious Americans but offer free rein to killers. [..] Surely, we are in for a new round of emotional pleas for more gun-control laws. And, helpfully, in this weekÂs Newsweek cover story by Kurt Eichenwald we already have a compendium of muddled and misleading anti-Second Amendment talking points that dominate the Left these days. The confusion begins with headline, which is based on an absurd premise, and bleeds into the lead: LetÂs start with an undeniable truth: In the...

Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump argued that its absolutely ridiculous that the Marines attacked in Tennessee were not allowed to carry guns and thus were just sitting there as targets on Thursdays OReilly Factor on the Fox News Channel.

The newest video sketch. Libs are already pissed in the comments section. Jehovahs witnesses come to my house nearly every saturday. At best, they stay too long trying to convince me of their craziness. At worst, they get offended when I tell them that theyre wrong. Still, lets put it in context. Theyre mildly annoying, but they arent trying to kill me. Which is more than I can say for Jihadis. Just what would it be like if Jihadi Witnesses took the same tact? Watch below.

Thieves were using the tunnels to gain entrance to the city and its museum. They usually came at night and never hesitated to shoot at anyone who got in their way. Ibrahim says his team successfully repulsed all such attempts. Foreign observers say that...

Whats THE biggest media myth to come out of the Iraq? War and its messy aftermath? Forget Maureen Dowds attempt to trash George W. Bush by altering the presidents words. That kind of "journalism" has become just standard operating procedure at the New York Times.

A Kuwaiti Islamic preacher has raised many eyebrows by echoing the calls made by extremist group Isis to destroy the ancient Egyptian Sphinx and pyramids  one of the seven wonders of the world that has captured the imaginations of people for centuries. The preacher recognised by an Egyptian newspaper as Ibrahim Al Kandari reportedly said that just because early Muslims did not dare destroy them, it did not mean all present-day Muslims must follow them. "The fact that early Muslims who were among Prophet Mohammed's followers did not destroy the pharaoh's monuments upon entering the Egyptian soil, does not mean...

An Islamist preacher from Kuwait called for the demolition of the Giza pyramids and Sphinx "to put an end to idolatry and the worship of such pagan constructions." "The fact that early Muslims did not destroy the pharaohs' legacy upon the Arab conquest of Egypt does not mean that we shouldn't do it now," preacher Ibrahim al-Kandari was quoted by the Kuwaiti Al-Watan daily newspaper Tuesday. The call echoes that of leader of Islamic State (IS) group Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, who described the destruction of the historic monuments and archaeological sites as a "religious duty," Al-Ahram reported.

But only recently, after the discovery of life-size human statues and the unearthed columns,...

Archaeologists and officials have expressed outrage about the bulldozing of the ancient Assyrian city of Nimrud by Islamic State militants in Iraq. IS began demolishing the site, which was founded in the 13th Century BC, on Thursday, according to Iraqi officials. The head of the UN's cultural agency condemned the "systematic" destruction in Iraq as a "war crime".

Armed with sledgehammers, chisels and a video camera, ISIS militants took their propaganda campaign to Mosul museum last month, destroying statues and artifacts, dating back to the ancient Assyrian and Akkadian empires, and posting the results online and in slow motion. The terror groups impetuous destruction of statues and artefacts in Iraqs second city, which it has controlled since its march across the Sunni-majority northern regions of Iraq last summer, has caused dismay within the archaeological community.

Screen Capture A video showing Islamic State militants with sledgehammers and power drills on a rampage inside the Mosul Museum shows the destruction of both reproductions and priceless originals from at least two important eras in the regions history, said a British expert on Iraqi culture. Paul Collins, of the British Institute for the Study of Iraq, in an email to Aleteia, said it was distressing to watch scenes of the destruction of colossal winged bulls of the seventh century BC. These are certainly the real things and it looks from the video that the sculptures are those situated outside...

Iraqi officials in the northern city of Mosul said Saturday that militants with the Islamic State group have begun demolishing the ancient archaeological site of Hatra in northern Iraq in a push to rid its territory of symbols it says promote idolatry.

While the world was watching the Academy Awards ceremony, the people of Mosul were watching a different show. They were horrified to see ISIS members burn the Mosul public library. Among the many thousands of books it housed, more than 8,000 rare old books and manuscripts were burned.

Last week, al-Baghdadis men returned to the Mosul Museum. They broke the lock to the storage rooms, and they have occupied the building ever since. They say they are awaiting instructions from their guide [al-Baghdadi] to destroy these statues, says Rashid, the National Museum director who is in touch with the local staff. Typically, al-Baghdadi is looking for the moment when he can get the most global attention We as Iraqis are incapable of controlling the situation by ourselves, Abbas Qureishi, director of the recovery program for the Iraqi Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities, told me. Its not just a...

The leader of the Muslim group who defended ISIS executioner Mohammed Emwazi has sparked further outrage after he refused to condemn the stoning women. Asim Qureshi, the director of Cage, was last night quizzed about extremist positions advocated by Muslim scholars - including female genital mutilation, domestic violence and stoning as a punishment for adultery. But Mr Qureshi, appearing on the BBC's This Week programme, failed to speak out against the practices - while also defending the right of Muslims to wage jihad. It comes after he defended the London-raised fanatic Emwazi - unmasked as the infamous fanatic 'Jihadi John'...

President Barack Obama is a Muslim and Islamic jihadist who "hates America" and has no ties to Christian ideals, former "Saturday Night Live" cast member Victoria Jackson tells "The Steve Malzberg Show." "Of course, he hates America, he's not even American. His formative years were in Indonesia and he was a Muslim. It says it on his school records," Jackson said Friday on the Newsmax TV program.
